With seven kids, although some of them have graduated, money can be tight for everything — not just homeschooling.

Homeschooling doesn’t have to be expensive. With the internet, the library, the support of other homeschool families, and the use of creative budgeting, you can homeschool inexpensively. Take a look at some advice from the magazine:

It’s easy to get overwhelmed these days, especially with all the news about politics and our economy out there. We know that during the days leading up to Christ coming back, there will be a great falling away, as well as trials upon trials. It’s going to come down to a real testing of our faith; will we endure to the end? Are we His? Are we teaching our children to endure in Him, always, as well? How do we do this? Get God’s word into their hearts. Learn His word too, Mama. You need to know what the King of the universe has to say, and it’s all found right in His word. Endeavor to know it, because by doing so, you will hear His voice and not be deceived.

But for tonight …

Do not be burdened; do not be overwhelmed. None of what’s going on in the world comes as a surprise to the Lord. He has everything under control. And He is the God of your children; He will not forsake your family. So whether it’s scary news reports, rebellious children, friends who are grievous in actions, difficulties with jobs or finances, a home about to foreclose, a sadness that will not lift, He is with you, Mama. His hand is on your head tonight. Joy is in the morning.

Psalm 52:8
But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever. Amen, Mama?

“I really enjoy reading all the THM articles. I learn a lot from Todd Wilson’s column. [He’s a] funny guy who speaks the simple truth! Thank you very much!”

–Charlene

“I look forward to THM every Wednesday. I really enjoy Deborah’s articles. For some reason, it must be God, she always writes about what I am needing to hear. Her ability to put scripture and God in the middle of all her articles keeps me coming back. I recently have been enjoying the Youngs’ [articles] because I have a young man (10) in my house. The encouragement of the Youngs is fabulous. I thank God for parents like them that pave the way for parents like myself and my husband.”

“Thanks ever so much. I love the encouraging articles! I really loved the list of 25 all in one place. Nice to have this little bit of “free” encouragement in my mail. I don’t have funds to subscribe or purchase frills and with also working more than half time I don’t have time to search it out. May God bless you exceedingly.”

“I absolutely love Todd’s column. He always seems to put things in the proper perspective, and it keeps me from getting all stressed and anxious. Thanks Todd, and thanks TOS!!”
